Dangerous games and macabre clues in thriller

- COLD COLD BONES Kathy Reichs Loot.co.za (R225) SIMON & SCHUSTER

IN A profession like this, you’re bound to make enemies.

It all starts when Dr Temperance Brennan finds a box on her porch. Inside is a fresh human eyeball with GPS coordinate­s etched into it. They lead her to a macabre discovery in a Benedictin­e Monastery, and soon after she discovers a mummified corpse in a state park.

There seems to be no pattern to these killings, except that each mimics a killing connected to something a younger Tempe experience­d, or barely escaped.

Someone is targeting her, and she needs to figure out why before they strike again.

And then her daughter Katy disappears.

Someone is playing a dangerous game with Tempe. And they won’t stop until they have taken everything from her.
